Blogging (8 months now!) has truly given me an unexpected blessing. I've noticed in the last few months that I'm taking more time to visually look around me. What am I looking for? Beauty. I'm now consiously searching for something to photograph and share. As a result, I've seen more loveliness in the everyday objects, nature, and people around me. Life is so much more enjoyable when you take that time to stop and smell the roses.
My family and I recently had the opportunity to attend the Ashtabula County Fair while we were visiting family in that area of Ohio. Come see the beauty I saw . . .
Bright and Welcoming
Memories Enough to Go Round and Round
Quiet and Gentle
Unique and Sweet
No Red-eye Correction Needed
Soft Feathered Feet
Black Sheep, Black Sheep
Where is your wool?
Remembering Grandpa's Tractor
"Just Like This!" my husband said.
Fresh Prize Tomatoes
Blue-ribboned Tea Table Setting
(I just had to add this one.)
Fair Ground Flowers
Colorful Rides
Ribboned Jellies and Jams . . .
Yummmm.
What's your favorite fair memory?
Are you looking for beauty?

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 8 months of blogging! Your photos are just amazing. I love how you captured all the beauty! I love the tabletop tea competition! That's great. We don't have that here! My favorite parts of the fair are the temporary gardens that people create and the quilts! Of course watching my kids have so much fun is the best!
